http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#x11 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/xorg.html "Any UCS character in the range U-00000000 to U-00FFFFFF can be represented by a keysym value in the range 0x01000000 to 0x01ffffff." I'm not sure though, whether the X11 deadkeys and the Unicode combining characters are the same thing and should be mapped onto each other. For one, deadkeys for accents precede base characters, whereas Unicode combining keys follow them. I slightly see deadkeys more as special function keys used to communicate with input method drivers, much like mode switches and other stuff that is not a Unicode character. Don't have a strong opinion on the subject though. Markus -- Markus G.
